Episode 955: Secrets of the Rogue One Novelization, Part 7

The novel also details a series of email exchanges that show you exactly how Galen was able to work the thermal exhaust port solution into the Death Star plans, despite the fact that it would irradiate a number of stormtroopers. All of that, plus what is for me the best line in the novel, is up for discussion in today’s podcast.
